The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers...

of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting.
...the wall
tagline
Exactly! Mexico is running around like they are in the stronger position. They get aide in many ways, a lot of their economy no doubt depends on good relations with the U.S. If you want to ruin that for 4 years for pride then go ahead. Other Presidents would be groveling, Trump is not “other Presidents”
Now, THAT’s huuuuge news and aimed directly at the Mexican president.
Agreed. Does not bode well for Mexico.
It’s probably actually closer to 600 billion if you include all of the drug money.
Go into any auto parts store and try NOT to buy a rebuilt part such as an alternator or water pump from Mexico.
Lock up that supply chain for a week and Mexico will renegotiate.
That tweet last night, just caused their president major future humiliation when he has to cave, openly now, to save his country's financial future. There will be panic there today in their financial markets. This will be a very painful lesson for his people. It will also be a good learning curve for other world leaders when knowing what to expect from him.
Just wow. Never seen this before with international diplomatic speech.
think big and ballsy - you'll get the hang of it.
Yep, there’s the wall money.
If I was Trump, I would force Mexico’s hand as he is doing and make Mexico be the one to cancel the meeting.
Hey look we were willing to meet but if you want to be an a$$ and you don’t want to coooperate..don’t waste your time coming here.
Bring the checkbook, Senor!
Running a trade deficit with any country is stupid, with a third world narco state - humiliating.
How sweet it is...
Bring the checkbook, Senor!
OMG this man is great! Yeah Mexico, go ahead and cancel the meeting and refuse to pay for the wall. $60 billion trade deficit and how much a year in remittances?
But what will the white house staff do with the sombrero party favors and bean burritos?
I’m thinking 24 years, or more.....by 2032 one of President Trumps sons or daughters could take the reigns from President Pence...
Build the Wall.
Defund Sanctuary Cities!
Problem Solved.
NEXT!
